Elon's Next Market Move Could Send Silver Soaring
Every industry Elon Musk touches explodes—from Tesla to SpaceX to AI.
And now, whispers are growing that his next move could be in silver.
Why? Because silver is the lifeblood of EVs, solar panels, and AI tech.
Without it, Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink don't grow.
Even back in 2022, Musk hinted at Tesla entering the mining industry. And with new policies clearing the way, the timing couldn't be better.
What happens if Elon enters silver?
- Massive supply chain disruptions – Silver demand is already outpacing supply.
- Prices could surge overnight – Even rumors of Musk in silver could send markets flying.
- A historic opportunity – Investors who act before the headlines could be in for a massive windfall.
Smart money is already watching silver closely.
That's why we put together the 2026 Silver Forecast Guide—your roadmap to silver's biggest growth phase yet.

3 Smart Investments If Interest Rates Stay Higher for Longer
Written by Chris Markoch. Publication Date: 3/23/2026.
Key Points
- Investors should focus on assets that can perform well even if interest rates remain elevated for longer than expected.
- ETFs like VNQI and MLPX provide diversified exposure to real estate and energy infrastructure with strong income potential.
- Equinix stands out as a growth-oriented REIT with pricing power and long-term contracts that help offset inflation pressures.
- Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a "wealthy man"
The March Federal Reserve meeting made clear that investors face a different backdrop than many expected at the start of the year. Heading into 2026, there were hopes for two, three, or even more interest-rate cuts.
Falling interest rates typically benefit companies that rely on capital, which helps explain why speculative stocks performed well in 2025.

What if you could claim a stake in what's set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?

While higher rates may be unlikely, a "higher-for-longer" interest-rate environment now looks more probable than previously expected. That suggests investors should look for opportunities that can benefit from persistent inflation without depending on aggressive easing from the Fed.
In other words, shift the question from "what investments hedge inflation" to "what investments hedge inflation and still perform if real rates remain elevated." That points to targeted exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and companies with physical assets that can raise prices or fees as the broader price level climbs.
Global Real Estate Exposure Helps VNQI Navigate Higher Rates
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to benefit when rates fall but can be hit-or-miss when rates stay elevated. One way to maintain real estate exposure is through an exchange-traded fund. In addition to a dividend with a yield around 4.5%, there are several reasons to consider the Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF (NASDAQ: VNQI).
It has an ultra-low net expense ratio of just 0.12% and about $3.5 billion in assets under management, which provides ample liquidity for buying and selling shares.
Despite a recent pullback, VNQI has still delivered a total return of roughly 10% over the past 12 months.
Investors should also note the fund's positioning: VNQI offers broader geographic exposure compared with many U.S.-centric real estate REITs.
With capital flowing into emerging markets, that international exposure can be useful for navigating volatility.
MLPX ETF Offers Income and Stability in a Volatile Energy Market
Energy stocks, especially oil and gas names, have been boosted by higher crude prices, but they can be volatile. One way to reduce that volatility is to focus on midstream companies that own and operate pipelines, or on service firms that benefit when higher prices spur exploration.
That makes the case for the Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF (NYSEARCA: MLPX). The fund is up more than 22% in 2026 and pays a dividend yielding roughly 4%.
MLPX provides exposure to both U.S. and Canadian oil markets, and over 84% of the fund's holdings are in the Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation sector.
That offers investors access to the pipelines and infrastructure likely to be needed as the United States and Canada continue investing in energy infrastructure.
Institutional investors increased their holdings in Q4 2025, before the conflict with Iran, and that buying momentum may persist — a potentially bullish factor for the ETF.
Equinix Stock Delivers Growth Through Pricing Power and Data Demand
For investors preferring single stocks, Equinix Inc. (NASDAQ: EQIX) is an attractive option. The specialized REIT sits at the intersection of long-term demand for data centers and a business model built around contractual, recurring revenue.
The company's revenue is expected to rise in the coming year, which makes Equinix less sensitive to interest-rate moves — a positive for investors seeking growth that can outpace inflation.
As of March 23, EQIX is up more than 2% in 2026, which compresses the dividend yield to roughly 2.2%. Still, the payout per share is $20.64 and the dividend has grown at an annual rate of about 12% over the past three years.
Despite a share price near $955, which can look expensive, analysts continue to raise their price targets.
Institutional buying also remains steady and outpaces selling by roughly 2.5 to 1, supporting the stock's outlook.
Ollie's Stock Won't Stay a Bargain Much Longer
Authored by Thomas Hughes. Originally Published: 3/15/2026.
Key Points
- Ollie's Bargain Outlet posted strong revenue growth in Q4 despite slim misses on earnings and guidance, with both comp-store sales and store expansion outpacing expectations.
- The Big Lots bankruptcy is creating a customer conversion opportunity that analysts believe has years left to play out—and isn't yet reflected in the stock price.
- Institutional investors own nearly all of the float and have been steady buyers, backing a company that funds its own growth and trades below every analyst's target.

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet (NASDAQ: OLLI) appears to have ended its stock-price downtrend. The Q4 2025 results reaffirm a robust outlook. While the report and guidance came in slightly below consensus, the misses were minor; growth and the outlook remain strong, and the weakness wasn’t as surprising as some street estimates suggested.
Analysts at RBC issued cautious commentary ahead of the release while highlighting the company’s positioning, aggressive expansion, and potential to outperform in coming years. They view the Big Lots bankruptcy and the resulting customer migration to Ollie’s as a multi-year event that isn’t fully reflected in the stock price.
Ollie’s Outperforms Peers as Expansion Takes Hold

Click here to get the details and I'll show you how to claim your stake…Ollie’s delivered a strong quarter despite revenue growth falling short of the consensus. Net revenue of $779.26 million was up 16.8% year-over-year—well ahead of competitors—driven by better-than-expected comps and rapid store-count expansion. Comparable-store sales rose 3.6%, slightly above RBC’s forecast, and store count increased 15.4%.
Margin trends were solid even with a miss: spending discipline and revenue leverage helped offset new-store opening costs. Adjusted EPS missed consensus by $0.02, a slim shortfall, and earnings growth modestly outpaced revenue growth. As new-store opening expenses normalize, margins and earnings quality should improve over the next two to three years.
Guidance was slightly below MarketBeat’s consensus but still calls for solid growth. The company expects revenue of $2.985 billion to $3.013 billion (midpoint just under $3.0 billion) and an earnings midpoint of $4.45 versus the $4.53 consensus—roughly a 10% top-line increase year over year.
Ollie’s Cautious Guidance Sets Stage for a Bullish Revision Cycle
A key investor opportunity is the potential for management’s cautious guidance to prove conservative. After last year’s 15.4% store-count growth, Ollie’s plans another 11.6% increase this year, and other tailwinds are building. Analysts point to potential consumer tailwinds related to tax season, and average transaction size is more than 10% larger than a year ago, providing greater liquidity to the customer base. If results outpace guidance, management may raise expectations during the year, prompting analysts to follow with upward revisions.
Ollie’s carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating with no Sell ratings among the 16 analysts tracked by MarketBeat. There were no immediate revisions after the Q4 release, but several analysts commented on the growth potential and a 12.1% increase in loyalty members while noting the challenge of future comparisons. Not all analysts are convinced about the long-term impact of Big Lots conversions, but the group is broadly bullish on the stock, projecting an average upside of roughly 30%. In early March, OLLI trades below the low end of the analysts' range, highlighting a deep-value opportunity and the potential for a rebound.
Institutional ownership reveals the real opportunity: institutions own nearly 100% of the shares and tend to add on a quarterly basis. Their reasons include a fortress-like balance sheet, self-funded growth, a favorable growth outlook, and strong cash flow. Potential capital returns add another attractive element.
The company does not pay a dividend, preferring to reinvest, but it does repurchase shares in quantities sufficient to offset dilution. The decline in share count has been incremental but steady, creating a base from which future per-share returns can grow. Industry peers and leaders such as TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX) are well-known for dividends and buybacks—a role Ollie’s appears to be increasingly stepping into.
Ollie’s Stock Price Bounces From Rock Bottom
Ollie’s stock hit its low in late 2025, recovered quickly, and retested that level in early 2026. After the guidance update, shares rose more than 5%, confirming this zone as meaningful support. That level was a resistance target set in 2019 that was breached in early 2025 and has since flipped to strong support. The likely outcome is continued market advancement through 2026, with the potential for accelerating momentum as the year progresses.
